The Third District Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of a major phone company in a dispute concerning an arbitration clause and a putative class action lawsuit.

The appellate court issued an opinion Wednesday reversing and remanding a January 2017 order by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Jorge Cueto, who denied MetroPCS’ motion for arbitration against disgruntled customer Jorge Porter. The appeals court found that Porter had agreed to resolve any prospective conflicts with his wireless service provider through arbitration when he consented to the terms and conditions of service.
